Map of Preceding 4 Posters with 2 tickets

[OBD]

S019-Battista is the Democratic ticket while Goldwater-Laki is the Republican one. While Goldwater and Laki's more moderate Republican ideologies complement each other well, they fail to achieve good base turnout - however, S019's suburbanite liberalism isn't palatable enough for the Democrats to exploit this. A socially conservative candidate takes a significant portion of the Southern vote. Ultimately, this results in a fairly standard coalition map, though with significantly less polarization than OTL.

I think you mismatched us... Laki is not a Republican and we fit each other much better than your tickets imo.
Interesting scenario though.

SKIP THIS ONE

I thought about doing Laki-Battista and Goldwater-S019 but I felt that would be too similar to the previous scenario.

Skip as well.
